What is your slang?

[k_rafftry]

One word I accidentally made up is "Chubi" which happened when I was trying to type ***** (in a non offensive way) into the predictive text in my phone. I sent chubi by mistake and I decided it worked pretty good.

Another fantastic source of slang is the "Ross O' Carroll Kelly" series of books. It's huge here in ireland, and follows the life of a fictonal rugby jock. He is from the south side of the city of Dublin, which has a reputation for being upper class people (where the north of dublin is more deprived). Ross and his friends use a self invented rhythming slang. My favourite slangs are the period (as in a womans period) slangs. I use these to ask girls if it's that time of the month without them knowing if they're a little cranky. Anywho they are the following

"Are you taking part in a period costume drama?" (obvious enough, the one i use the least)

"Are you flying the flag for Japan?" (I love this one, it's excellent!)

"Munster must be playing at home" (An Irish only one I think, Munster are a rugby team here, who wear red when they play at home. All Irish people know this so it works pretty well)

Use the japan one, see if you get away with it!

 

[Sparkly Weasel]

I speak Deeptongue.

I mainly use Yorkshire slang (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yorkshire_dialect_and_accent)

however, most of the stuff I use is generated from specific in-jokes from various TV shows and bizarre behaviour of myself and friends.

"proper bo" from Bo' Selecta's Craig David, means "it's very good"
"AHOY" means, well, hello. Used in greeting, the louder the volume the better.
"Nudge Nudge Wink Wink say no more" from the monty Python sketch, can be used to highlight accidental or deliberate double entendre's or to follow on from someone accidentally saying a line from said sketch.
"SKETCH!" (must be accompanied by appropriate hand motion). from the Rip-Slyme song "joint" this is said for no reason whatsoever, just like in the song.
"Smeg" from Red Dwarf, means an infinate number of swear words.

My favourite slangs are the period (as in a womans period) slangs. I use these to ask girls if it's that time of the month without them knowing if they're a little cranky.

My favourite slang for a heavy period is "Jam on Toast"

It came from a friend who'se missus was heavy one month, and he commented that it looked like "Jam on burnt toast", which got shortened.

 

[AnGeL.SLayer]

My slang isn't so much as something I just came up with but that far too common occasion when my mind is somewhere else and I say two words mixed together. Instead of Oh Boy! I said Oh Doy! once and no one will let me live it down. I have others but I'd really not get going on it..lol >.<' I get enough slack here for it.

[Mstrswrd]

I don't really have a slang so much as I curse in languages I don't speak, like Greek and Japanese and German and... you get it. The only slang I have is a bit of a surfer dude speak, and no-one knows why, since I hate the ocean.

 

[Broken Blade]

I tend to work a lot of British swear words and the like into my conversations, mainly because I've watched the complete series of Monty Python's Flying Circus more times than is strictly healthy. I also occasionally slip in a German word or two, because it's just a fun language to get angry in, and I spent four years learning it in high school. My favorite english swear word is either "Fuck" or "Godsdammit," the latter because it brings all of the various pantheons and divine beings that have ever existed against the thing that has earned my wrath, rather than just one measly god.

 

[Whitto]

I tend to use slang from the north of England, seeing as how that's where I'm from.

Stuff like:

Nowt -Nothing
Owt -Anything
Reet -Alright
Eyup -Hello

I also tend to use "Y'wot?" rather a lot, favorite exclamation is: "Ecky thump!"

I like 'Surfing the crimson tide' for period slang.

 

[Ultrajoe]

i use

'i beg to differ' instead of no and 'indeed' instead of any affirmative word

'hey ultrajoe'
'indeed'
'indeed? thats weird dude'
'i beg to differ'

and i grunt, alot, 50% of my vocabulary is very information-rich grunts.

 

[cleverlymadeup]

"AHOY" means, well, hello. Used in greeting, the louder the volume the better.

also the term we were going to use when answering the phone but alexander graham bell chose the dutch version of hello

hello wasn't a greeting until the phone came around and even then it was just a way to test that the line was clear and properly made. it was originally used to judge the distance from shore when it was dark and/or foggy

this is also why mr burns says "ahoy hoy" when answering the phone in the simpsons, it's a nod to "ahoy hoy" being the phone greeting instead of hello.

I always wondered what the hell was going on whenever he said that! Thanks!

hobo/homo
dirty germ(an)
badword
*random spluttering*

 

[exoneuk]

I tend to say Blimey and Kinell to state my exasperation or surprise about something. I also use the words daft, boyo, AWE-SOME (said in a fairly high tone and almost musically) and joker a hell of a lot.

HOWEVER, I do not refer to my hometown as G-Town unlike half of the town's population (who need to be shot most of the time)

No offence to anyone on this board who lives there but, most of you would think the same anyway.

 

[Heroic One]

I have a tendancy to add unnessecary endings to words, and I haven't the foggiest idea why.

"Indeedy", "Neatorama", etc.

 

[TobyMobias]

"Monkeyflipper"

 

[BuckminsterF]

I sarcasticly add yo to any sentence less than five words long and tend to mumble incoherently when I think of the right word or my thoughts only make sense to me. Also, I'm from Texas so I occasionally use phrases like yall or turdhook.

np i never understood till i found out, as far as i know he will never say "hello" it's always "good day to you" or something like that. that show has a lot of really neat in jokes that revolve around certain characters

 

[AndiGravity]

It depends. I'm not a fan of text-speak, since I think it shows an inherent laziness of the mind, and most of the time falls under the broad and general heading of "inane ape chatter". However, I usually sign off my online chats with CFN (Ciao For Now).

Come to think of it, I seem to have a lot of broad and general headings, so that's part of my slang, too.

When someone or something has pissed me off and I have to ask what's going on, I either say "what the gay Hell" or "what in goat-milking Hell". If I'm frustrated or pissed off enough to curse, my favorites depending on what type of situation I'm in are "puppyfuckers", "hucking fell", or "crumbcakes". I wouldn't have bothered with the last one, but I used to work in retail, and the area of the country I lived in had a large contingent of people who would literally walk into the grocery store and then pray to Jesus for the bounty they were about to receive.

If someone says something completely foolish to me, my reply is usually "you couldn't bludgeon me that stupid with a tack-hammer". If someone skids right past foolishness and slams headlong into stupidity profound enough to make me think of solving part of humankind's problems by jamming their head into the piston of an oil rig, I just go with "twitch".

That last one gets uttered regularly every time I hear George W. Bush, Jack Thompson, or Fred Phelps speak.

 

[Ciarog]

I use a few badly butchered Gaelic and Spanish and French phrases that I've picked up in random places (putting things off until Mañana, Aithníonn ciaróg ciaróg eile). Also I seem to cause a good bit of amusement every time I talk to my New York neighbours or any people near doctor's offices and coffee shops. Are poke and casket really such funny words?

 

[ThaBenMan]

My college room-mate and I had some stuff we would say-

You guys know the "Scary Movie" movies? Specifically, the character Shorty, played by Marlon Wayans? He would always say "Shit, son!" and usually laugh in this ridiculous, high-pitched way (cuz he was high all the time). We would say that pretty often (half the time my roomie would also be high or I would be drunk).

This rapper named Lil' John always punctuates his songs by loudly saying "WHAT". We started saying that as well, except it kind of mutated into it's own thing - a lot lower pitched and pronounced a little differently, like "ha-WUT"
